Frequently asked questions

What makes these passages JLPT N3?

Every passage is scored word by word against the N3 vocabulary list. Nothing is published below 99%, which means a whole passage holds a word or two above your level at most, and those are listed underneath it with their readings and meanings.

Are there passages with no unknown words at all?

Yes. 6 of these 50 passages are 100% N3, so you can read them start to finish without looking anything up.

Where does the Japanese come from?

All of it is real public-domain Japanese from Aozora Bunko, chosen because it happens to fall inside the level.

What if I do not know a word?

Every word in a passage carries its reading and its meaning, and opens the page it is taught on: the vocabulary entry for a word, the grammar point for a particle or an ending.

Is there an English translation?

41 of the 50 passages currently have English translations. Open a passage to see the available word help and translation. Machine translations are labelled.
